That brings an end to this encounter. There is another game lined up in a short while as we bring you all the action ball-by-ball in a little while!!

Subramanian Anand: It is a brilliant performance. Everybody showed character and the whole of Thoothukudi was behind us. It is a big tournament for us. At the start we didn't have the big players like Dinesh Karthik, I was a new captain then. There was pressure early on, but it has eased off now. In Ganesh we have a slingy bowler, who surprises everyone. Our top order is really strong and I will continue to bat where the team requires.

Arun Karthik: We were in the game until Nathan took the game away from us. They way he played was an unbelievable knock. We didn't bowl badly, but he batted really well. I would want to apologize to our fans. Getting out for 52 is not on in any T20 tournament. We did play a good brand of cricket this season. We can put out heads high and tell we did put in a decent performance.

SP Nathan: I can't play like him (Dinesh Karthik). I hit whenever it was in my range. After playing 10 balls, I came to know where to hit. I wanted to hit straight down the ground and they bowled in my range. That's my favorite shot (to tonk down the ground). It was a good pitch. (When asked how he'll adapt to the pitch in Chennai) I'll see how it behaves for two balls and then will go after the bowlers.

SP Nathan is the Man of the Match for his quick-fire 77:

Huge win for TUTI Patriots. A clean sweep for them by winning all the games in the group stage. 12 wins in a row (including the previous season). Having put into bat here, they posted a huge target for Madurai Super Giant, who haven't found any kind of success in this tournament so far. 196 proved to be way out of the reach as they came out to bat. Their skipper Arun Karthik gave them a good start, but was soon dismissed. They never recovered, or did they look to recover. Wickets kept tumbling and eventually ended up posting the lowest score in TNPL. The spinner were the main destructors bagging away seven wickets off the ten. Stay tuned for the presentations in a little while.
